Replace data type names in the generated code

Description

Specify whether to replace built-in data type names with user-defined data type names in generated code.

Category: Code Generation > Data Type Replacement

Settings

Default: off

On

Displays the Data type names table. The table provides a way for you to replace the names of built-in data types used in generated code. This mechanism can be particularly useful for generating code that adheres to application or site data type naming standards.

You can choose to specify new data type names for some or all Simulink^® built-in data types listed in the table. Specify the replacement name as one of the following:

A Simulink.AliasType object.
A Simulink.NumericType object.
The Simulink Name built-in data type name.

An error occurs, if:

A replacement data type specification is inconsistent with the Simulink Name data type.
The Simulink.AliasType object has the Data scope parameter set to Exported.

Off

Uses Simulink Coder™ names for built-in Simulink data types in generated code.

Dependencies

This parameter enables replacement for all built-in data type name in the Data type names table with user-defined data type names in generated code.
